Spring Valley, New York—The family of a security guard who was fatally stabbed on the job at a Spring Valley library is demanding answers. Just months before Blanchard Glaudin, 25, was charged with stabbing Sandra Wilson at the Finklestein Library, a judge had allowed his release without bail after an alleged attempted rape in November.(Snip) "My sister was brutally murdered, brutally murdered, doing her job. How do we move forward from this?" Hayward said. Glaudin is accused of stabbing Wilson, 52, with a kitchen knife on Tuesday after she asked him to turn down his music. Library patrons intervened in the attack

First, I find no indication that this middle aged woman 'security guard' was armed. THAT is a sad thing, basically tossing someone to the almost literal wolves with no ability to defend herself effectively.
The "justice system" in many places has entirely lost track of the point of the whole exercise.
The POINT is to keep average citizens safe from the violent few who would harm us. This is especially important in those worthless states which prevent honest citizens from being armed to defend themselves.
So, they let violent felons loose on the general public, to harm more of us. Apparently they think that the point is to minimize any inconvenience to violent criminals.
Avoid those states which won't let you defend yourself in public.

DVC, I am a middle-aged woman who survived working for 2 years in a men's prison in Georgia. No one is allowed to carry anything more lethal than a radio into the cell blocks. You have to be in shape, have the proper no b.s. attitude and most importantly the ability to recognize a real threat when you see it. This poor lady did not have that ability.

News York's got real issues with its leadership and its citizens better start changing things before it's too late. It's already too late for a growing number of victims.

If the defendant, Mr. Glaudin is mentally ill, he was probably released because: 1. He is mentally ill and the jail did not know how to handle him and had no facilities available to deal with his diagnosis. 2. If he was released and had been put into a "facility" until his court date, he probably checked himself out as he could not be held against his will due to his mental illness (thanks to "advocates" for the mentally ill who don't take severity of illness into account). Many people with mental illness have learned to work the system to their advantage and escape accountability for their actions due to their "illness".

Bless you, #2, that is not easy work, I am sure, good to hear that you made it safely. I hope you had serious help on quick availability on that radio, too.

She was a security guard at a library, not a prison! Her main job was to keep people from stealing books.
I can't believe the victim-blaming I often see in connection with horrible and senseless crimes like this one.

bail exists for two reasons, beyond the fact that it is a constitutional right.
first, it exists to make sure the alleged criminal shows up for court.
second, it exists to keep people who are likely to continue to commit terrible crimes, so bail is denied.
we don't know the circumstances of the alleged rape charge. Was it husband/wife? boyfriend/girlfriend?

Libraries in California are homeless hangouts. They build fancy ones and the homeless move in and ruin them for everyone. Mental illness, substance abuse and criminal activity—all of which can be handled, but aren’t. Stay out of libraries...I feel great sadness for this lady and her family. Oh, and stop voting for Dems! Doh!

"..a judge had allowed his release.."
the "judge" is liable for this murder and must spend the
rest of his/her life in prison..
maybe that would discourage these "judges" from
allowing killers to kill people..

Why did the Judge release this murderer without bail? Because the 100% demonrat legislature and Cuomo passed a law saying murder was a non-violent crime.

The DA says the smiling killer should probably have not been out of jail to begin with, but a judge set him free after a felony arrest for attempted rape. Supposedly an investigation is underway, resulting perhaps in a sternly worded letter in the judge's circular file.
